Hello Jungle,

it is about time. The MV Challenge 2017 is over.
Roman and Josua finished judging last night and want to present to you
the final winners of this event. To see the full galleries and random
prize pool winners again, please check back with this post.
To check back with the rules, please see the initial announcement.

Did we tell you that we already have a great new idea for MV's 2018 Challenge?
No? Well, now we did and we will even add a small hint: It is about animals :)

If you like to support or say thanks the monkeys of Massive Voodoo in what they do, please feel invited to drop a jungle donation in their direction via paypal or check their miniatures they got on sale here.

Before we show you our judging results we both - Josua and I - want to tell you something:

"The MV-Challenge was a great success for me. The amount of people
getting creative and entering both categories made me feel really proud
and enormously happy. It showed me again what i love and cherish about
this hobby and his community. Thanks to all the participants for so many
wonderful creative projects. I am looking forward so much to the next
one... " - Josua

"Amazed is not the right word,
positively overwhelmed and speechless fits much better. So many winning
painters that took the challenge to learn and experience something new
created so many beautiful entries and everyone with heart and soul in
it. No, amazed does not fit properly. Proud - like Josua said - is the
right word here! I can not wait until we present you the next challenge
:)"
- Roman

Thoughts on judging:
Well this was no easy job, you can bet. We discussed through sleepless
nights and even had one day where we did not want to speak to eachother
as our harsh discussions made us go mad at eachother. You are all just
winners in this challenge. We will present you both categories now and
show you the winners, we will also add a small comment on our judging
criteria to the categories. Unfortanetely we do not have the time to
write a small comment to every entry these days. Sorry. We would love
to, but life, work and love keeps us busy.

Judging CriteriaWe focused our judging criteria on your repaint of the infinity figure. The quality, variety and bravery of your paintjob and how you dealt with uncommon volumes. Basework is secondary and did not recieve a lot of attention while judging. Sad but true - this is what we mentioned in the rules. Nonetheless some of you did build beautiful bases. This category was really hard to judge with 70 entries (including out of competition, that we of course did not judge).

A really hard category to judge. You all did amazing figures, told amazing colorful stories and showed us so much passion by putting so much fun and joy in your Infinity repaint.

You all made this challenge come to life no matter if you have won or not,
without you our challenge ideas would be dust in the wind! We are preparing a big MV Challenge 2017 overview post that also will inform you about our further process in shipping your medals, prizes and random raffle draws. Stay tuned in!

Thanks Roman and Josua for the time you passed to organise and judge this contest. It was really a lot of pleasure to be part of it and a lot of fun to paint an infinity mini. The scale and "Toy" sculpt were a good challenge for me.A big up to all the participants and happy painting ! :D
